"GALA, a regular feature on Time Out's list of the top music festivals in London, has revealed its full 2026 lineup. While the Peckham Rye Park fest is best loved for specialising in dance music, the 2026 edition will feature a notable amount of hip-hop and grime. UK rap titans Giggs (doing a Peckham hometown set), Novelist, D Double E and CASISDEAD will headline the first day of the event on Friday May 22."
"The Saturday (May 23) will see GALA fully embrace the sounds it knows best, with a house- and techno-led lineup. Call Super, DJ Seinfeld and Logic1000 are all on the bill. Sunday (May 24), meanwhile, will apparently be 'rooted in house, disco and the origins of dance music'. Global superstar DJ Seth Troxler will lead a lineup that also features legendary names Lil' Louis and Todd Terje. Helping close out the fest will be Gilles Peterson, Moxie and a B3B by Antal, HUNEE and Palms Trax."

Friday’s headliners include UK rap acts Giggs, Novelist, D Double E and CASISDEAD, with bass and IDM artists such as Mala, Djrum and Objekt. Saturday emphasizes house and techno with Call Super, DJ Seinfeld and Logic1000. Sunday focuses on house, disco and dance origins, led by Seth Troxler and featuring Lil’ Louis, Todd Terje, Gilles Peterson, Moxie and a B3B by Antal, HUNEE and Palms Trax.
